What killed intellectualism?

Rightism.

>>81815176
how has that never been posted before

Short form media.

>>81815152 (OP)
Goethe demonstrated really well the fact that knowledge wasnt a good in inself and around that time people moved away from pure rationalism. Kant also helped with critique of pure reason guiding the fiercest critics to rigid intellectualism into academia

>>81815176
You know you could probably argue the exact opposite is what killed it, annihilated it, and sent it all the way to Hell forever. Big tech leftist censorship killed worlds of discussion and thought and the ones behind it are terrorists of the highest order.

>intellectualism
Replaced with other coping mechanism

>>81815215
>Big tech leftist
How are they leftists?

>>81815229
because they don't like literal nazis

>>81815255
How are national socialists right-wing?

>>81815215
Leftist chilling of online speech hindered intellectualism, sure, but everything rightists have done since about 2014 and especially 2016 and especially-especially 2024 have taken it out back and shot it. It's not remotely comparable. The two factions in the US are now "annoying and insufferable" and "delusional and retarded", and guess which camp you're now in, fucknuts.

>>81815255
they just support what earns them most money

if hitler rose to power tommorrow Volkswagen would start producing weapons again.

>>81815267
they believe in cultural conservatism

>>81815267
Every single National Socialist says they are right-wing, and also they very obviously are right-wing by all definitions.

>>81815255
Yes, they do? Elon is big tech and a Nazi, see also Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, Jeff Bezos, many of whom stood behind Trump at inauguration

>>81815290
based I love big tech now

>>81815229
Are you really asking that? The censorship was completely one sided, the words "racism" "bigotry" "hate-speech" etc, all are used in one single direction. It wasn't shitlibs (even the ones who advocated violence) being mass banned in waves on all big tech platforms. It's not leftoids with organizations like the ADL or RWW informing companies of who to ban. With all due respect, you have to have either not been there to see it, or have been under a rock.
I'll give you this though, I hate terms like "right wing" and "left wing", I used "leftist" because it's expedient, and the hegemony of big tech is what generally would be called that.
>>81815269
The most powerful manifestations of the shift of discourse happened because of censorship and even the non outright banned stuff was shadowbanned. If all your seeing is fox news teir faggotry, then you didn't see fucking shit. The stuff propped up and in your face is ALL fucking gay and retarded.

Neither, I reject that paradigm and I will not be boxed into it.

>>81815285
How are they conservatists?
>>81815289
How do they love capital and the free market?

>>81815320
>With all due respect, you have to have either not been there to see it, or have been under a rock.
You are jewish tho

>>81815324
>How are they conservatists?
They kill marxists and progressives.

>>81815341
Why did they remove the kaiser then?

>>81815320
And again, I reject the left right paradigm shit, but people never the less bix themselves into those labels and associate with those who do. It is defined ultimatly in the same way sides in war are, and the friend enemy distinction.

>>81815152 (OP)
I assume "Intellectualism" has never EVER been popular with the common populace in any society or country. There's still probably intellectual spaces and thinkers like Norm Finkelstein.

>>81815359
He was probably promoting Jewish interests like every world leader does today.

>>81815339
I'm not, and how does that response make any remote sense in relation to anything I said? How the fuck am I a jew?

>>81815152 (OP)
Some people will always take the emotional shortcut

>>81815370
>I'm not
Post nose and earlobes

>>81815375
I'm not posting pictures of myself, but you're obviously trolling. Tell me how I'm jewish for anything I said? Since when does a jew dislike ADL lead censorship? If you read the initial post I made that you responded to you didn't understand it. Not even going to argue though because this is gay and retarded.

>>81815403
>Tell me how I'm jewish for anything I said
Because you are gay, jewish and retarded to that

Sectarianism. It's not "muh left," or "muh right." It's that people aren't willing to hear out ideas they hate, or compromise in anyway. People view any mutual agreement, cooperation, or understanding as fence sitting. People treat ideas like sports ball teams. Integrative complexity is dead, long live extremism.

>>81815460
That's pretty zesty tho

>What killed intellectualism?

1. Misguided egalitarianism (The mentality of my intuition or gut feeling is just as good as someone elses expertise).
2. Ordinary people having the ability to express themselves and share ideas across the internet. Should be a good idea what actually most people are simply not smart or intellectually curious. Back in the day people read books and newspapers by people who had at least some level of intellect. Now most of the text people read is online and is written by ordinary morons.

Every one being allowed to learn to read, ruineth in the long run not only writing but also thinking. - Nietzsche in Thus Spake Zarathustra

I would add now that post internet everyone being able to write from an audience has ruined public discourse completely.

>>81815492
Sneeduck about it or feeduck or something.

>>81815152 (OP)
Nothing, you are just waking up to how truly rare it ever was. Keep in mind it was the Athena senate that kill Socrates because he was corrupting youth with his ideas of internal monologues and free thought. Hell iirc your very pic is the Roman senate agreeing to what would be their very downfall, and here you use it as a means to ask why it went wrong.

Perhaps the error is the very theory of intellectualism, that knowledge is wholly or mainly derived from pure reason/rationalism is nothing but a coping lie to deal with the chaos of our biology.
